Corn Makes Me Sing
I never
had much to do with corn besides eating it!
The few stalks planted in my garden were for fun. But now I know what it
is to hope for beneficial rain, beaming sunshine, and pleasant days for
harvest. I couldn't wait to run into the
storage shed we have been given free use of in Kasese, Uganda and see our B4P
corn! I sang and shouted for joy at the
sight of dried kernels in striped poly sacks!
Now I know why the psalmist wrote Psalms 65:13 "...the valleys also
are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing." BfP
Uganda picked it, packed it and rented a
truck to ship it down to Kasese. They dried it and sacked it. Soon we will grind it and sell it to schools
who will use it for children's porridge.
We hope to build a harvest shelter very soon for $1,000 American. If we construct a harvest shelter in
Rugendabara where the corn is grown, it can be dried and removed
from the cob before shipping down to Kasese.
It will be much lighter, a considerable savings. All contributions for the Agricultural
Project for B4P Children's Villages will help us reach our goal of
sustainability. Join me in a
thanksgiving shout to The Lord for His bountiful provision.
